K This combination, said Mr.. Atwood. I
propose to show this evening Is another
symbol oil Rome. It is just like the
dragon In the last chapter, except that the
color Ia not mentioned and the crowns are
on the horns and not on the heads. The
heads OIL the dragon represented the seven
different forms Of one government, aud 80
the symbol OF power was appropriately
placed on the heads. Tho hornssIof the
beast represent tho ten fragments into
which tho empire was broken, and each

This ended the papal government in
Rome. This was tho head that received
the deadly wound. The sixth head was
q republican head placed on the beast by
Berthier. In July, 1900, the republican
head Was cut of and the papal one put in
the place Of ii. This was the head that
had the deadly wound, and now the dead.

was on the beast again. The restored
papaoy was head No. 6. 1t wore this head
